Synopsis
Oleg Morozov took 15 years shooting this film in Kaliningrad, a former German city that was annexed to Russia after the Second World War to be repopulated by Russians who emigrated there following the expulsion of all Germans. Maybe it was patience that achieved this close and intimate vision of a group of persons harshly punished by drugs, alcohol, poverty, and, in general, moral and material misery. These are people who share a peculiarity: not only do all of them seem destined to end up in the worst possible manner, but that they all seem to be already dead now. Morozov does not spare us this information, the key to understanding the scope of this movie, filming what is somehow a farewell from all of them until their next resurrection, a farewell that could also have been that of Morozov given that he died a few weeks after completing the edition of the movie.
